You know, if you wanna say John Brantley is one of the top quarterbacks in the SEC going into the season, well… it’s a stretch, but at least you can try to justify it by arguing that the conference lacks experienced, talented players at that position.

But when you put forward the idea that he’s one of the top fifteen quarterbacks in the country – right now – you’re just angling for a new Lexicon entry.

I’m leaning towards the GPOOPTE™ (Greatest Player Of Our Post-Tebow Era). There are some bandwagons you can’t jump on too early.

Would a miracle like Brantley being the next great thing make Urban, ME!bow and Brantley something like the Holy Trinity of Gator football? I guess in that scenario, Spurrier is downgraded to something like one of the Old Testament prophets, heralding the future arrival of the GPOOE.

On second thought, maybe Brandon Spikes should be the third member of the Gator Trinity, and Brantley could be one of ME!bow’s disciples. This Biblical analogy stuff can be tricky, but at least we all realize that all future portrayals of Corch Meyers, the GPOOE, and now probably Brantley (could he be the next JENKINS! type player for Florida that Jenkins actually was for the Gamecocks?) should carefully portray halos around their heads.

I think my favorite is her response to someone calling her ranking ridiculous:
“Andrea Adelson: Ridiculous because UGA has a freshman QB and an entirely retooled defense? the bulldogs weren’t exactly world-beaters last year. 4-4 at one point, right?”

But then literally 1 minute later she responds to the same guy who said her ranking was a gator call and asking her how UGA finished with:
“Andrea Adelson: this has nothing to do with “gator call” and why does it matter how they finished? they are a totally different team in 2010.”
So lessons learned today: UGA=bad in 2010 because of being 4-4 at one point in 2009. But their 2009 finish doesn’t matter because 2009 and 2010 are two “totally different” teams.

Oh and also:
“Andrea Adelson: i am looking at the facts, the entire D is retooled, is playing a new style, and there is a freshman QB taking over, with no experienced backup.”

I am just ready for you guys to knock em off in Jacksonville and then for FSU to end their season with a L to send them to a mediocre bowl. Then we’ll see them try to twist all of their blame on to someone other than Brantley and Meyer. Some excuse about not getting enough love on TV from the announcers even though we still hear about Tebow incessantly throughout games.

Over/under on Tebow references per UF telecast. 15.
